the fear that your siblings would hate you if they knew the truth you hid to spare them

The Light Runs Toward Your Brokenness

The sun is up, but you are still carrying the night's secret weight. You believe your silence is a shield, protecting those you love from a truth that might make them turn away.

But the light does not need your protection to do its work. There is a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off — before the apology, before the speech, he ran.

He did not wait for the confession to offer the embrace. The love was already there, running toward the brokenness.

Your fear says they will hate you if they know. The light says they are already known, just as you are.

The truth you hide is not stronger than the love that holds you both. You do not have to be perfect to be held.

Morning is not a test of your worthiness; it is simply proof that the light returned for you anyway.
